What are flamenco palmas?
In flamenco, palmas are a rhythmic accompaniment, and at the same time, a tool to set the beat, create atmosphere and intensify the emotion of the music and the dance.
The clapping sound is emitted by tapping the fingers of one hand on the palm of the other hand, making both palms sound.
Types of palms
There are different types of palmas depending on the flamenco style. Each has its own rhythm and structure, and learning to master them will allow you to actively participate in this art.
Flamenco clapping, at first glance, may seem easy to play, but the reality is that it requires precision, technique and a lot of practice. That is why through this workshop, you will learn how to play palmas correctly.
